Alexa Plus Now Available on Select Echo Show Devices

Author:Kristen Update:May 14,2025

There's a new Alexa in town – or at least in early access. Alexa+ is an upgrade from the standard Alexa voice assistant, powered by generative AI. This new version comes with a host of exciting features, but the primary allure of Alexa+ is its ability to engage in more natural, flowing conversations. Amazon emphasizes that "Alexa+ is more conversational, smarter, personalized – and she helps you get things done."

Currently, Alexa+ is available in Early Access, but only on select Echo Show devices – the Echo Show 8, 10, 15, and 21. If you own or are planning to purchase one of these devices, you can be among the first to experience this innovative assistant.

After the Early Access phase, Alexa+ will be offered as a free benefit for Amazon Prime members or for $19.99 per month to non-Prime users.

With its conversational approach, Alexa+ lets you ask anything that comes to mind. Whether it's completing your to-do list, finding specific details from your calendar, or booking a restaurant, Alexa+ is designed to assist you seamlessly. The Alexa+ Early Access page highlights that "new features are being added regularly," promising more enhancements and capabilities post the Early Access period.

However, not all devices are compatible with Alexa+. Amazon has specified that certain older generation Echo devices – including the Echo Dot 1st Gen, Echo 1st Gen, Echo Plus 1st Gen, Amazon Tap, Echo Show 1st Gen, Echo Show 2nd Gen, and Echo Spot 1st Gen – will continue to use the original Alexa. On the Alexa+ Early Access page, the company assures that "We will soon expand Alexa+ to more devices, including Fire TV and Fire tablets, and Alexa.com."
